Plater NPC Colors: Newbie Tanking M+

Plater NPC Colors: Newbie Tanking M+

0 Downloads

This plater colour profile is designed for newbie/gearing tanks. It highlights 3 main considerations for anyone who is inexperienced or lacking gear/confidence:

  • which mobs hit hard (i.e. Do I need mitigation here?),

  • which mobs have frontals (i.e. face them away from the group, and/or avoid the frontal yourself if possible),

  • which mobs do I need to be in melee range of (i.e. they charge back and smack you, or they monch on your squishy rogue instead).

The list is not exhaustive but rather designed to give a basic starting point for new tanks, so you're not entirely overwhelmed by who-does-what-to-whom. For more detailed information, I recommend checking out Tanknotes.
